SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SLIDE GATE OPERATING SYSTEMS
SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can
produce high levels of force, it is important that all gate operator system designers, installers, and end users be
aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. Keep in
mind that the gate operator is a component of a total gate operating system.
The following information contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer,
and end user. These instructions provide an overview of the importance of safe design, installation, and use.
Warnings are identified with the symbol . This symbol will identify some of the conditions that can result in
serious injury or death. Take time to carefully read and follow these precautions and other important
information provided to help ensure safe system design, installation, and use.
WARNING: Gate operators are only one part of a total gate operating system. It is the responsibility of the
purchaser, designer, and installer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. All secondary
entrapment safety devices must be U/L recognized to complete the operating system.
SYSTEM DESIGNER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Familiarize yourself with the precautions and warnings for the installer. Users are relying on your design
to provide a safe installation.
2. The operator is supplied with a primary current sensing entrapment protection system. The installation
must also have a secondary entrapment protection system installed, such as photoelectric sensors or an electric
edge system (See Page 8 & 9).
3. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system
is placed far enough away from the road to eliminate traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate,
usage levels, and gate cycle/speed must be considered to eliminate potential traffic hazards.
4. The majority of injuries from slide gate operator systems occur with Open Rollers or Ornamental Grill
Type Gates. The illustrations and descriptive captions found on the following pages provide precautions to help
eliminate injuries or fatalities. Familiarize yourself with them when designing the total system.
5. Design gate systems so a person(s) cannot reach through the gate to operate any controls. Never place
controls on the gate operator itself.

INSTALLER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A. Before Installation
1. Check to see that the operator is proper for this type and size of gate and its frequency of use. If you are not
sure, consult factory.
2. Check to see that there are no structures adjacent to the area, which may pose a risk of entrapment when
gate is opening or closing.
3. You must ensure that the gate has been properly installed and works freely in both directions. Repair or
service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to
operate and enhance the performance of the operator as well as the safety devices used within the system.
4. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the
public side of the gate.
5. The operator is supplied with a current sensing primary entrapment protection system (See Page 8).
Additional safety equipment such as electric edges or photocell sensors must be installed to provide the required
secondary entrapment protection system (See Page 8 & 9). Severe injury or death can result from entrapment by
gate. For assistance in selecting the correct type of safety equipment, consult the factory.
6. Review the operations of the unit and become familiar with the manual disconnect mechanism and safety
features of the system.
7. You must install a push-button control or key switch to allow for normal operation of the gate if the
automatic controls do not work. Locate the push button or key switch and small warning placard within sight of
gate in a secured area at least 10 feet or more from the gate and fence to keep users away from the moving gate.
8. Outdoor or easily accessed gate controls should be of security type to prohibit unauthorized use.
B. During Installation
1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
2. Disconnect power at the control panel before making any electric service connections. Connection
locations for controls and safety equipment can be found on the wiring diagram., and in this manual (See Pages
7,8 & 9)
3. Know how to operate the manual disconnect mechanism (See Fig. 6).
4. Adjust the open and close current sensors on the PC control board in each direction to the minimum force
required to operate the gate smoothly (See "PRIMARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICE" Fig. 8).
DO NOT increase current setting to makeup for rough spots in gate travel- FIX THE GATE INSTEAD!
5. Place controls at least 10 feet from the gate so that the user can see but cannot touch the gate while
operating the controls.
6. Place the warning signs provided in high visibility areas on each side of the gate to alert motorists and
pedestrians of automatic gate operation.
C. After Installation
1. You are responsible for ensuring that the end user understands the basic operations and safety systems of
the unit, including the location and operation of the manual disconnect (See Fig. 6).
2. Point out that the safety instructions in brochure are the responsibility of the end user, and then leave a
copy of this brochure with the end user.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR OPEN-ROLLER GATES AND
ORNAMENTAL GRILLE-TYPE GATES
INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH AUTOMATIC GATES CAN OCCUR WITH OPEN-ROLLER
GATES AND ORNAMENTAL "GRILLE TYPE" GATES
OPEN-ROLLER GATES
Injuries occur when people get their hands caught between the top of the gate and the roller. This potential
pinch point should be guarded whenever an automatic operator is installed. Enclosed tracks are available from
various fence suppliers for refitting of these rollers.

TO PROTECT FROM
PINCH POINT HAZARD
ORNAMENTAL "GRILLE TYPE" GATES
Injuries occur when people put their arms through openings in the grilles and the gate is operated. The person
cannot retract his/her arm and it gets caught between the grille and the fence post or fence. The potential hazard
must be guarded. It can be simply done by placing a screen mesh on the gate and fence in the area of the gate.
The screen must be a minimum of 4 feet high from the bottom (unless the gate and fence are shorter) with
openings that a 2-1/4 inch sphere cannot fit through (See Illustration Below). This will help to prevent access
through openings when the gate travels.

EMERGENCY CONTROL STATION OPTION:
Provision has been made to change the control station operational mode to one that would only be activated
when the entrapment sensing system is in stop mode; with the warning horn activated. This would give a person
access to control of gate in an emergency situation, but it would be inoperative under normal circumstances.
To activate this option, move switch #1 to the "ON" position (See Fig. 13).
Note: When this emergency mode of operation is activated, the control station functions as a constant pressure
control.

PRIMARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICE:
Note: Gate must move smoothly and easily in manual operation before
attempting this adjustment.
This unit is supplied with a current sensing system which will stop gate
when activated and then back the gate off approximately 2 inches and stop.
If the gate is started again and the sensing system is activated a second
time before hitting a limit switch, the gate will stop and sound a warning
signal. A constant pressure control will then be needed to start the gate.
This sensing system has adjustments located on printed circuit board
(See Fig. 8). The force required to activate the system may be adjusted in
both OPEN and CLOSE direction separately. Start at minimum force, and
increase force until it is just over what is required to move the gate
smoothly without any nuisance tripping. NEVER INCREASE FORCE
SETTING TO MAKE UP FOR A GATE THAT IS NOT MAINTAINED
PROPERLY. THIS WILL DESENSITIZE THE OPERATION OF THE
SAFETY SYSTEM.
SECONDARY OBSTRUCTION SENSING DEVICES:
Another sensing device (either a contact or a non-contact
system) must be installed and connected to this unit to
increase protection against entrapment per U/L

(1.) After sensors are connected, turn on power.
Note: Be prepared to stop operator, if gate goes in wrong direction or passes its fully open position, in the
next step.
(2.) Momentarily press "OPEN" button. Gate should start opening, and stop when the open limit switch is
activated. This will verify that the operator motor is running in the proper direction.
(3.) If motor is running in wrong direction, turn off electric power at the source and contact your operator
supplier. If operator is functioning correctly, test the secondary obstruction sensing system for proper
operation.
RADIO CONTROL INSTALLATION:
Only a four wire radio control receiver can be installed on this operator (See Fig. 11) for electrical
connections. This radio control can only be used to open the gate, therefore the "TIMER TO CLOSE" option
must be activated for closing. (See Next Section).
Note: If your radio's connecting wires are not color coded as shown in figure 11 see the radio's installation
manual to determine which wires are for the normally open contacts and which require the 24 VAC power
supply.
